Fast, Reliable Roofing Company Across Malibu

Roofing work in Malibu runs $850 – $1,800 for a typical repair and $18,000 – $65,000 for a full replacement, depending on the roof type and the condition of what’s underneath. Those numbers reflect coastal materials, WUI code compliance, and the reality that many Malibu homes need structural corrections before new roofing goes on. We’re Mercer Roofing Co Thousand Oaks, and we’ve worked on enough Point Dume bungalows, Broad Beach estates, and hillside builds along Kanan Dume Road to know that a roof here is never just a roof.

Why Mercer Roofing Co Thousand Oaks Is Malibu’s Preferred Roofing Company Company

Homeowners in Malibu tend to be protective of their properties, and rightfully so. A stranger at the door with a ladder and a bid sheet is a real decision point, especially if you work from home in the Colony or you’re raising kids up in Malibu Park. That’s exactly the problem we built Mercer to solve. Every technician who arrives at your home is background-checked, identity-verified, and in a clean marked uniform with a photo ID badge. You get their name and photo sent to you before the visit. No guessing, no wondering who’s walking up your driveway.

We’re part of the Threshold Group family, founded in 2000. Each location is independently owned and operated, and every one is held to the Threshold Verified standard. That means the tech we send to your Malibu home has passed the same vetting as every tech across the group. Grant Whitlock leads our team, and the standard he insists on is simple: written price before any work starts, written guarantee on every repair, and a live person answering the phone 24/7. You won’t get a voicemail tree when you call us about a leak above your kitchen in Las Flores.

Our crews work throughout Malibu regularly, from the flats near Zuma to the gated communities off Latigo Canyon. We know which streets in Serra Retreat have original 1950s built-up roofs and which Point Dume properties have already converted from shake to composite. That local pattern recognition means we show up prepared, not surprised.

Commercial Roofing in Malibu

Commercial Roofing in Malibu carries a different set of demands than residential work, and the coastal code here makes it stricter than most commercial markets. Restaurant roofs along Pacific Coast Highway, boutique retail spaces in the Malibu Country Mart, and small office buildings in the Civic Center area all need roofing that can handle constant salt exposure without corroding at the flashings. TPO and PVC membranes are common on low-slope commercial structures, but the detailing at parapet walls, rooftop HVAC units, and drain scuppers is where we see failures in this town. Salt-laden air eats standard galvanized metal in a few seasons.

A typical commercial roof repair in Malibu runs $1,200 – $4,500 depending on the membrane type and the number of penetrations. Full commercial replacements usually land between $9 and $18 per square foot installed. We give you a written line-item price before ordering a single sheet of membrane.

Low-Slope Membrane Systems

For flat and low-slope commercial roofs, we install TPO, PVC, and modified bitumen systems. TPO holds up well under UV and salt, which matters in Malibu more than inland. We detail every seam, penetration, and edge with corrosion-resistant fasteners and sealants rated for coastal exposure.

When we take over a roof that’s been leaking at the curb or the glue-down seam, we don’t just patch it. We identify whether the original install used the wrong metal and replace the entire flashing assembly. That’s the difference between a repair that holds and one that fails again before spring rains.

Preventative Maintenance Plans

Commercial property owners in Malibu often ask us for annual maintenance programs. We inspect, clear drains, check seams, and document every finding with photos. A small scupper blockage on a flat roof above a retail space can become a $20,000 interior damage claim after one heavy winter storm. Our maintenance visits run $450 – $900 depending on roof size and access.

Metal Roof Installation in Malibu

Metal Roof Installation in Malibu is not a commodity trade. The salt spray, the wind ratings, and the architectural expectations on homes from Broad Beach to Ramirez Canyon demand a higher level of detailing than what a standard crew will deliver. Standing-seam metal, particularly 24-gauge Galvalume or pre-painted aluminum, is one of the better choices for coastal Malibu because it sheds water quickly, resists ember intrusion, and doesn’t corrode the way exposed galvanized steel does. That said, a metal roof is only as good as the flashings, and on a home with a cantilevered deck or a roof-to-wall transition, the flashings are everything.

On a cliffside home above Zuma Beach, our crew replaced a corroded standing-seam metal roof with a new 24-gauge Galvalume system. The salt spray had eaten through the original zinc flashing at the cantilevered deck, causing leaks into the master suite. We removed the decking at the perimeter, installed new ice and water shield up the walls, and custom-bent stainless steel drip edge to match the architect’s detail, then re-secured the skip sheathing to meet the 130 mph wind rating required by the WUI code.

A standing-seam metal roof in Malibu typically runs $22 – $32 per square foot installed, depending on panel profile, gauge, and the complexity of the roof geometry. Custom fabrication of drip edges, coping caps, and scuppers adds to the total, but we quote it upfront in writing.

Standing-Seam vs. Exposed Fastener

Standing-seam panels use concealed clips, so there are no exposed screws to back out under thermal movement or wind vibration. Exposed-fastener panels cost less, but on a coastal Malibu roof they’re a liability. The screws have rubber washers that degrade under intense UV and salt, and every one becomes a potential leak point within a decade.

For hillside homes where brush clearance and wildfire risk are a factor, we recommend standing-seam with a Class A assembly underneath. The metal itself won’t ignite, and the concealed fasteners don’t create ember traps.

Roof Decking and Underlayment Prep

Before any metal panel goes down, the deck and underlayment have to be done right. In Malibu, that often means replacing rotted plywood at the eaves, reinforcing skip sheathing on older homes, and laying a high-temperature peel-and-stick membrane. We don’t skip this step, and we don’t bury old problems under new metal.

Trusted Brands We Service in Malibu

We install and repair roofing systems from GAF, Boral, and Atlas, three manufacturers whose products work especially well in Malibu’s climate. GAF’s high-wind shingles carry ratings that satisfy coastal uplift requirements, Boral’s concrete tile holds up to intense UV without fading, and Atlas offers composite shake profiles that match the 1960s look many Malibu neighborhoods want to preserve without the fire risk. We keep common flashing components and sealants on hand for fast turnaround, and we order the rest directly from our supplier network so your lead time stays predictable. When we quote a GAF shingle roof for a home off Malibu Road, we spec the exact shingle, underlayment, and accessory list before you sign anything.

Common Roofing Company Problems We See in Malibu Homes

• Salt-corrosion at flashings: The standard galvanized metal used inland lasts a few seasons here before the zinc gets eaten through at roof-to-wall transitions and pipe penetrations. We replace it with stainless or properly coated aluminum, and we don’t reuse old flashing under new roofing.
• Skip sheathing under composite re-roofs: Many original 1960s shake roofs on Point Dume and Broad Beach sit on spaced boards that were fine for shake but don’t meet current wind uplift requirements for composite. New shingles over unreinforced skip sheathing fail inspection after the first strong Santa Ana.
• Flat roof ponding on older bungalows: The 1950s beach bungalows along the Pacific Coast Highway corridor often have built-up roofs with settled decking that holds water at the center of the roof. That standing water degrades the membrane from above and eventually rots the deck below.
• Cantilevered deck flashing failures: Decks that project out from the roofline are common in Malibu’s hillside architecture, and the intersection where the deck meets the roof is a chronic leak point. If the original flashing was zinc-coated steel, the coastal salt has likely compromised it already, even if the roof surface looks intact.
